A Nigerian youngster who was visiting the United Kingdom for the first time wastaken to the London zoofor sightseeing. On getting tothe section where monkeys are kept, he was amazed to see other tourists giving outplenty of money to the monkeys that were hopping around doing acrobatics. Themore the acrobatics,the more the tourists enjoyed the show and the more the money (hard currency) the monkeys got. This young man suddenly had an idea and when he gotback to Nigeria, he started learning all kinds of acrobatics. Hevisited his medicine man and asked for a portion that will transform him into a monkey. During his next visit to London, he went into the zooand took the portion and wastransformed into a monkey. He joined theother monkeys and started his own type of modern, systematic and attractive acrobatics. He soon caught the attention of all the tourists who wasted no time in showering him with plenty of pounds sterling. He was now making more money thanthe real monkeys. The king of the monkeys didn"t like this and challenged the new monkey to an acrobatic duel. The contest was tough and very keen but the new monkey won. The king monkey had togo on exile in shame but before he left he set a trap for the intruding monkey whonow became the new king. The next day, monkey business started asusual, with money coming in from the tourists. There was this particular tourist who really enjoyed the show that he threw a lot of money into thecage. The new king pocketedhis money but to his amazement all the other monkeys threw their earnings into the adjacent cage. Thenew king could notcomprehend this and would not allow all that money to goawaylike that; so he jumpedinto the adjacent cage to pick up the money. It was only when he got there that he realized it was a lion"s cage. The lion looked at him, looked at the money and roared and started toward the monkey who was now sweating, shaking and foaming in the mouth. Half way, the lion suddenly stopped, looked at the monkey again and said: "Oh boy, if no bi say we all na Naija, I for show you.
